Wanted to add my own experiences with this closed thread for anyone searching on Google: https://groups.google.com/group/openbd/browse_thread/thread/889bb2c155606eb5
I used the 64-bit Windows installer for OpenBD 1.4 on Windows Server 2008 R2 Standard. Everything worked great. Set up a datasource to SQL Server Express 2008 R2 using SQL authentication, and the connection verified with no problem. When trying to use the datasource though, I got the same error as above: "failed to verify remote server/socket". Changed the password for the connection to '123456' just as a test from the above thread's information, and still got the same error. Even tried a brand new datasource after a restart with the same result. Connection would verify in the Admin, but it wouldn't actually work. The login attempt does not even show up in the SQL Server logs. However, I uninstalled OpenBD 1.4 and installed version 1.3, and the connection worked on the first try. No other changes to the computer were made. -- official tag/function reference: http://openbd.org/manual/ mailing list - http://groups.google.com/group/openbd?hl=en
